Awareness

My mom had breast cancer.
She was diagnosed at the age of 45.
After 15 years of battling for life, she lost the war.
Watching your loved one suffer makes you think long and hard.
It is agonizing and leaves you feeling helpless.




Do yourself and your family a huge favor.
Have a mammogram done.
Tell your sister, your aunt, your mother, your wife and every woman you love to do the same.
Men are not immune to this horrible disease either.
Get yourself checked.
I am.
